Clarification on Refunded PR Fee

[vv365]

Hi,
I applied for Canada PR sometime back and also received landing papers in early 2008. I re-submitted my application package with updated marital status and all necessary forms/documents for my husband. I also returned my original landing papers.

Last week, I received 'Right of Permanent Residence Fee Refund' for $490 from canadian consulate stating that the fee only applies to applicants who are granted permanent resident status in canada, and is refunded when the applicant has not been granted landing.

I understand my husband has to go through the entire process as his application was submitted recently, but my application was processed last year and the only reason I had to return my landing papers is because of the change in marital status.

Please help me understand why my PR Fee was refunded while my application is still in process. My concern is I don't want to lose the current stage of my residency process. I need to know if getting $490 fee refunded is ok at this stage of process, or does it mean I have to re-do the whole thing again?

PMM, please help.

thank you!

If nobody here has had this happen or knows what it means, why not contact the visa office and ask what it means.  I assume they revoked your landing papers to re-process your case and they will make you pay right of landing again later when they have processed you with your husband.
